Answer to Question 1

2015 2014
Earnings per share 2.29 2.04
PE ratio 24.45 24.51
Dividend payout 76.42 78.43
Dividend yield 3.13 3.20

The earnings per share has increased, but the market has not reacted to the change as evidenced by the stable PE ratio. The dollar amount of dividends has increased but the dividend payout and yield have declined slightly as the dividends did not go up as fast as the earnings per share and market price of stock. Given the low interest rates in 2014 and 2015, shareholders are realizing a good return of over 3 in dividends from their investment.
